optimal pairing is Dunn/Ingram or Murray/Simmons

I still think Dunn/Simmons can work if you surround them with lots of shooters

Dunn only shot 3% less well from three last year than Ingram did. But I still think we're in find guys who could develop into really good players mode, and that Dunn is a better bet there than Murray.

Again, I know that I have become the "Okafor Overater" suddenly, but Okafor for the #6 pick and Jrue is not some unreasonable transaction. Jrue has been an absolute sunken cost for the Pels, and he doesn't have the value that we got for him three years ago. He also only has one year left on his contract, so the idea of including him on this deal seems reasonable to me. He's an expensive, injury riddled 1 year rental. Those guys aren't generally considered blue chip assets.

Okafor was the consensus #1 pick for much of last year, and he ended up having a better season statistically than many here were expecting. I think he's a horrible fit for this current roster, and the direction the Sixers are going in, but that shouldn't limit us to selling him for $.50 on the dollar. I still believe that the Celtics #3 pick for Okafor could very much be in play- they aren't going to have a package enticing enough to get Butler from CHI.

Why we would settle for the #6 pick and garbage is mind blowing. It literally was birthed from a Bill Simmons tweet. Let's allow a notorious Sixer hater to set the market for our top assets- that's a model worth adopting...

He'd be your 4th big man in that scenario - willing to draft a guy number 3 to be your second big man off the bench?
